On Sunday, April 26, approximately 80 caravans belonging to the travelling community (gens du voyage) set up camp on the football stadium in Guilherand-Granges, Ardèche. Residents alerted the police, and both law enforcement and Mayor Sylvie Gaucher responded. An agreement was reached: the families will be connected to water and electricity and must leave the site clean. The stay is expected to last about two weeks.

Marseille: Mouton rugby stadium occupied by caravans

About 80 caravans have occupied the two main pitches of the Mouton stadium in Marseille's 11th arrondissement, blocking access for the 650 licensed members of Marseille Rugby Méditerranée. Physical training was scheduled to begin in August. Police confirmed the intrusion, which was made possible after protective boulders installed during recent municipal works were moved. Club president Augustin Marie expressed frustration over a recurring situation that threatens the club's activities and jobs. The local mayor's office has filed a complaint and is demanding a swift evacuation. On Monday, tensions near the sports complex escalated into an altercation involving a journalist, requiring additional municipal police intervention. The club's sporting calendar remains uncertain.
